Venom Swamp (3)

Previously…

            “I activate my face down Soul Release, letting me remove from play up to 5 cards from either Graveyard,” said Kaiba. I choose to remove 5 of your Reptiles! Vennominaga’s ATK drops to 2000.

            “It can’t be!” said Viper.

            “It can and I’m afraid this is the end of Vennominaga,” said Kaiba. I tribute Giant Germ for Luster Dragon #2 (2400) in Attack Mode. Luster Dragon, destroy Vennominaga! Vennominaga is destroyed and Viper’s LPs drop to 6300. Vennominaga reappears. What happened?

            “Vennominaga has an effect that lets me bring her back by removing from play a Reptile in my Grave,” said Viper.

            “I end my turn,” said Kaiba Luster Dragon #2’s ATK drops to 1900. (0)

            “I play Venom Snake in Attack Mode,” said Viper. Venom Snake appears. Snake, attack his face down monster! The face down Cyber Jar (0900) is destroyed.

            “Now all monsters on the field are destroyed!” said Kaiba. Then we each draw 5 cards and summon or set all Level 4 or below monsters drawn. They’d better be good monsters or he’s going to defeat me! I set 3 monsters in Defense Mode.

            “Lucky for you I have no monsters to play,” said Viper. However, Vennominaga wasn’t affected by Cyber Jar so I can attack 1 of your face down monsters like the middle one! The face down Vorse Raider (1200) is destroyed. I set 2 cards face down to end my turn. (5)

            “I discard Thunder Dragon to add 2 more copies from my deck to my hand,” said Kaiba.

            “So now you have two more useless monsters in your hand,” said Viper.

            “Not quite,” said Kaiba. I use Polymerization to discard my 2 Thunder Dragons for Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon (2800) in Attack Mode.

            “He doesn’t even come close to my Vennominaga’s ATK,” said Viper.

            “He will once I equip him with Megamorph, doubling his ATK since my score is less than yours. Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon’s ATK rises to 5600. Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon, destroy Vennominaga! Vennominaga is destroyed and Viper’s LPs drop to 4700.

            “Not bad but you know that Vennominaga will come back now,” said Viper. Vennominaga reappears and its ATK drops to 3500.

            “So what, it’s now weaker than mine,” said Kaiba. I end my turn. Twin-Headed’s ATK drops to 5100. (0)

            “I play my final Venom Snake in Attack Mode,” said Viper. Then I activate another Venom Shot, giving your Thunder Dragon 2 Venom Counters and lowering its ATK by 1000,” said Viper. All I need to do send a Reptile-Type monster from my deck to my Grave. Twin-Headed’s ATK drops to 4100 while Vennominaga’s ATK rises to 4000. Furthermore, I’ll use my Venom Snake’s effect to give your monster another Venom Counter provided my snake doesn’t attack but I’m willing to do that to weaken your monster more. Twin-Headed’s ATK drops to 3600. Vennominaga, destroy his Twin-Headed Thunder Dragon! Twin-Headed is destroyed and Kaiba’s LPs drop to 1200. You’re on your last leg, Mr. Kaiba. Why not forfeit now? (4)

            “Not a chance, Viper, I’ve come too far to let your secrets go,” said Kaiba. I remove a LIGHT and DARK monster in my Graveyard for Chaos Emperor Dragon - Envoy of the End (3000) in Attack Mode. Chaos Dragon, destroy his Venom Snake! His LPs drop to 200, Venom Snake is destroyed and Viper’s LPs drop to 2700 while Vennominaga’s ATK rises to 4500.  

            “That’s not enough for on my next turn, I win,” said Viper.

            “I activate my Emperor Dragon’s ability,” said Kaiba. I give up 1000 Life Points to send all cards on the field and in our hands to the Graveyard! All cards except Vennominaga are destroyed and Viper’s LPs drop to 300. How are you still standing?

            “You clearly forgot that by destroying Venom Snake, you couldn’t deal me the last 300 damage necessary to win this duel,” said Viper. Now that you’re completely defenseless, I can win this duel on my next turn. You did a valiant effort to defeat me this turn but it’s not going to happen. My secrets will never be revealed!
